Will the Chick feed poison my Eggs....help!!

[bragabit]

Crap, I just figured out that my hens have been sneaking into the broody pen when she is out walking the chicks through the pasture. The hens have been eating the medicated chick feed. Should I throw my eggs out? What should we do if we consumed some of the eggs.

ack....

No, they're fine.

The medicated feed should not hurt your adult chickens or you. It is only to protect against coccidia (sp?). I am sure others will chime in but I just think it is not good for them to do it because it doesn't have the calcium they need as layers I don't think there is anything in it that will hurt you.
